Another Freakin' Update

So, once again things are falling apart and not happening the way that they are supposed to. I am very annoyed to say that Chris's transfer hasn't been turned in by his HR person to be approved or denied. We turned in the paperwork at the beginning of the month, hoping that we would know by now, only to find out that nothing has happened. Stupid woman HR rep. So now we will be homeless in two weeks and have no idea if he should quit the TSA and move already or wait and still have a job. What sucks even more is that this past weekend we went to Boise and found an apartment that we really liked. Unfortunately, without proof of income or a letter saying that he will have a job in Boise, they won't approve our application. So, despite swearing to never do this, we will be staying with my parents until we figure stuff out.

It's not that I don't love my parents. I really do. It's just that this feels so embarrassing having to ask for help like this. I like being able to take care of things by myself. I don't like asking for help, it feels like I am failing to be an adult and that I am mooching off of my family. GRRRRR!!!! I just am so annoyed with Chris's job!! They are making this suck! We need to move to Boise so Chris can finish school and then we can focus on finding him a great job.

So, that's the big deal with us. We have two weeks to move the majority of our stuff to a storage unit, then move to my parents, for a couple of months so we can finally get away from the TSA.

On a lighter note, Aubry is doing good eating rice cereal, and hopefully by the end of this week, she will be on real baby food. She rolls over all the time and is not allowed on the couch anymore (cause she rolls off) and she laughs and sleeps really good. Wish us luck with Chris's transfer and hopefully, we can make the move to Boise in the next couple of months.

I love my computer...

I love my computer. Yes, yes, I do. why do I love it? Well, it hasn't failed me yet, and it doesn't judge me. Nope. During my husband and Aubry's three hour nap, it hasn't complained once about the endless blogs I read. It doesn't gripe that maybe I should be doing something a little more productive, like the dishes. No, it sits so soundly on my tray table, and silently reassures me that despite reading nothing worth remembering, it still supports me...=)

On a more productive note, I have once again decided to learn to knit. Chris's mom was down when Aubry was born and ran through the basics, but then I haven't touched it since them. So I got it out and sat through conference, trying to remember everything. So far, I remember important things, but I haven't managed to knit anything in particular. Oh well. Maybe I will make Chris a scarf. Sounds good.

Aubry is having good sleep days and bad sleep days, and my goodness I am having just bad sleep days. Sometimes, she just starts screaming, then when I wake up and roll over, she is sound asleep again!!!

We are at least getting over our colds this week. Thanks to the humidifier. Other than that, nothing at all is going on. But thanks for stopping by!!

Oh Yeah...

Boo-YA!! Aubry is doing so good lately with her naps. Like right now. She went down without a fight and I didn't even have to hold the pacifier in her mouth. I put it in and she rolled over and went to sleep. I am so amazed. I want to say thanks to everyone who recommended the book Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Baby. It read like a blender manual but it had some awesome ideas. Besides Aubry doing better at her naps, things are progressing slowly with Chris's transfer. We still haven't been able to turn in his transfer packet, because of letters and information that he needs from his supervisors. Which is really lame. But since we now have less than a month to move, we are getting on the ball. I am still collecting boxes so if you got some, I'll take em'.

Despite having a nasty cold this week, I have been feeling so awesome. The weather has finally turned really nice. Fall is my favorite season. And for some reason, it feels like Christmas. Probably because my nose is red and it's nippy outside. Kinda weird, I know. This holiday season will be the first that we will spend away from our families because of the move. I am not sure how I feel about it. Happy that we will probably have a white Christmas in Boise, but sad cause I will most likely miss my family. I know that I am really excited to get away from southern Nevada, but I am very aware that I will miss my family. It is all part of growing up, and I have to face the reality that I really can't live in the heat anymore. Maybe in the future that will change, but right now I need a change.

I am gonna miss hanging out with Lara and sewing every week. Hopefully, I can find a sewing group or something in my new ward in Boise so I can continue expanding my wardrobe and Aubry's. Well, I will keep everyone posted and updated with the move this month=)
